Historical Connections to the Renaissance Period
Imagine that you are an author who is writing alongside authors like Williams Shakespeare during the Renaissance Period. In preparation for your new story, you must create an illustration of a main character using the Renaissance Character Template. Because you are writing about topics relevant to the Renaissance Period, your character will need to be appropriate for that age. How should your character look, speak, dress, live, and work? Make sure to include any accessories that you character would need. When you have a complete idea of your character, use the Renaissance Character Template to complete the assignment. Then, describe your character in an organized one-paragraph summary.
